It\u2019s super busy and very close to UCLA. S<\/span><\/span>tudents<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>families\u00a0<\/span><\/span>and people working on their laptops sip coffee<\/span><\/span>\u00a0and share banter.<\/span><\/span> No matter\u00a0<\/span><\/span>the reason<\/span><\/span>\u00a0for your visit\u00a0<\/span><\/span>this restaurant has all of their bases covered<\/span><\/span>\u00a0to\u00a0<\/span><\/span>leave you very satisfied<\/span><\/span>!<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There was a huge private party table in the middle of the restaurant\u00a0<\/span><\/span>that<\/span><\/span>\u00a0made this place super noisy.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>I was happy to discover and to\u00a0<\/span><\/span>share the air space<\/span><\/span>\u00a0with the USC Entrepreneurial Group<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>hav<\/span><\/span>ing<\/span><\/span>\u00a0a networking mixer. Their table had lots of yummy food items and many took home doggie bags.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s What I Tried:<\/p>\n

Beverages:<\/p>\n

Classic Lemonade-a great thirst-quenching version.<\/p>\n

Essential Green Juice<\/span><\/span>–<\/span><\/span>kale,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0cucumber, spinach, celery, romaine, lime and parsley.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>This is a very healthy juice<\/span><\/span>\u00a0that<\/span><\/span>\u00a0lacks anything sweet<\/span><\/span>;<\/span><\/span>\u00a0but<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0will put you in the right place.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cappuccino<\/span><\/span>-A<\/span><\/span>\u00a0great<\/span><\/span>\u00a0no<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>nonsense coffee drink served in their classic coffee type bowls.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Breakfast and Brunch:<\/p>\n

Skillet Eggs:<\/p>\n

Avocado and Crisp Onion\u00a0<\/span>with\u00a0<\/span>eggs served sunny<\/span>–<\/span>side up<\/span>\u00a0to add a\u00a0<\/span>great yoke flavor. I really loved the crisp onion<\/span>!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bacon<\/span>! L<\/span>ots of pieces of bacon and\u00a0<\/span>s<\/span>callion<\/span>\u00a0with\u00a0<\/span>eggs<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>cooked to perfection<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>B<\/span>e careful<\/span>!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>T<\/span>he skillet of\u00a0<\/span>super<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>hot<\/span>!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Salad:<\/p>\n

Grilled Chicken Cobb<\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>O<\/span>rganic chicken, avocado, bacon, organic hard-boiled<\/span>\u00a0egg, blue cheese, tomato, seasonal greens, and smoked tea vinaigrette. By far<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0my favorite item of the day. It<\/span>\u00a0has everything\u00a0<\/span>that usually g<\/span>oes<\/span>\u00a0into a Cobb salad<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>with an elegant small chop for the vegetables and an amazing dressing. This would be my go-to salad here.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tartine:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Open faced<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>sandwich\u00a0on organic whole-wheat sourdough.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sample:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Roasted Turkey and Avocado: radish, cucumber, arugula, and vinaigrette.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Smoked Salmon, avocado, scallions, and dill.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ham and\u00a0Gryuere\u00a0Cheese.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Each one was done with amazing details and the bread is just so terrific.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I was also given\u00a0<\/span>some<\/span>\u00a0nice pastries and wonderful mini tart dessert items. They list calories on their menu as well which is good for calorie watchers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The interior is simple but practical<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>with lots of blonde wood everywhere<\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0the floors, the chair and their tables. There is a huge map of the world on one wall. The display cases show off all of their wonderful pastry items.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are 22 locations in Los Angeles, and 270 around the world.<\/p>\n

Le Pain Quotidien means \u201cThe Daily Bread\u201d, if I could, I would eat their bread everyday, it is just that good!<\/p>\n
